Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: xinitrc
Date: October 2nd, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:052
Affected versions: 7.0, 7.1
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A problem exists in the /etc/X11/Xsession file which disables the
Xauthority mechanism of the localhost. This means that anyone logged
into the localhost can arbitrarily connect to an X server running on
the localhost. This is only a problem with systems that allow remote
logins and is not a problem on systems that do not support remote
logins or multiple users.
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to
ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this by
running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using
"md5sum package.rpm".
Linux-Mandrake 7.0:
9b93ae07b177ec62a2a3110924060bb4 7.0/RPMS/xinitrc-2.4.4-11mdk.noarch.rpm

________________________________________________________________________
To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".
You can download the updates directly from:
ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates
ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates
Or try one of the other mirrors listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/RPMS/". Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two
above-listed mirrors.
